He would most likely beat bhanks in an open bb contest because he's in proper condition. You can't really beat anyone who is "on" unless you are in "proper" condition, no matter what becausee there is a certain amount of condition required nowadays and bhanks is not quite there, might take even 20lbs weight reduction or more depending on where the weight loss comes from.
Again, I've seen a lot of shows, both in person and pics over decades, in all of them a really superior specimen WILL be beat in a show if they are not in proper shape. Like we've all seen shows where a superior "athlete" with superior muscle size, superior proportions and superior everything is relegated to outside top 10 because he just isn't there wrt conditioning. In open bbing you simply go nowhere, in a lineup where the others don't have the conditioning either, sure.
If bhanks looked at the longer term he would continue to diet hard for another 6 weeks at least, then an "offseason" which wouldn't really be "off" much and then a precontest where he attempted to get even leaner. Bhanks knows all this is true but he will think he will simply wither away, and to a certain extent this is true., but it would actually help longer term, and he wouldn't have to pull down that much for a contest if that turned out to be true, but pulling down would help even if not, because you would have moblized those stubborn depots previously. Fat cells are there permanently but can be reduced to "nothing."
I don't remember exactly but this gentleman is pushing 70 if I remember correctly
Simply unbelievable. I'll have to check the age again... or please, someone else do it for me
wes probably knows who it is, as well as others. Google didn't recognize these exact shots, not for me at least
